Most agent orchestration projects skip session persistence across restarts. That's the feature that actually matters for human-in-the-loop workflows, because rebuilding context kills the iteration speed. The ask/delegate/autonomous mode spectrum maps well to how trust builds with these systems.

Genuine question: in delegate mode, when the agent encounters something that needs escalation, does it block until you approve or can it context-switch to other work while waiting? The blocking vs. async decision shapes the whole UX of human-in-the-loop systems.

For me plan mode and answering questions didn’t work great when I tried using Claude Code with OpenClaw out of the box. So I think that’s the main problem that this plugin solves. And getting proper notifications when something is done or needs a response.

Regarding delegate mode - if something requires attention/clarification, the agent will “block”. That’s just how the mechanism works in the underlying Claude Code and Codex harnesses. There is generally no “let’s continue working on everything else that can be done without answering the questions” mechanism. That would be great, I agree, but probably a feature that should be in Claude Code / Codex themselves rather than this plugin.
